OK. I removed the bezel carefully (I've done this numerous times in the past so pretty familiar with it). I repainted my dash and was putting the bezel back in. All the red lights (altenatore, etc) light up fine. The red pony lights up when I click on my brights. But the green dash lights do NOT light up. All three connectors on the left are in and tight. The two wires to the tachometer are connected. The car starts. The the accesory/alt light comes on when you turn on the key and all guages work. Just no lights to the guages.

I need my greenish glow!

I'm curious if I somehow messed up the fader on the headlight switch as that was removed too during the paint job.

Any ideas????

well...something on my fader I think is loose, cause I kinda have to have it in the "sweet spot" for them to be on the brightest setting. If I dont, They don't work at all, but the will turn back on if I fade them out, and they fade, but for BRIGHT, I need the sweet spot. so I think the fader may be the problem....but I dont know how to fix it.

Thanks. I'll try playing with it some more on my next days off. Maybe my last round of cuts and bruises from working under the dash might be healed by them.
